My baby has Crack/cut next to her Anus

Today morning i noticed that my baby has a cut/crack just next to her Anus, i don’t think it’s anal fissure coz it is slightly next her Anus. What could it be? Do i need to go to the doctor or it will heal naturally? Am scared

My lo had a little tear in hers. I just made sure I put a and d or something like that on it for a while. Usually from straining. I know after I had my first baby I got an anal fissure and holy shit. I didn't really know what to do so for month it's was unbearable. It would reopen and then heal and it hurt to sit and everything. I finally took Miralax for a couple months so I wouldn't keep reopening it and it healed. Not that I am going to those lengths with my dd. It's so crazy that tiny little cracks on ur butthole or fingers tips can cause sooooo much pain!!!!
